these r them 8 ohm speakers

The radio amp will when it overheats!!!

fleming was a professional installer if I remember right so I would listen to him.......your radio is rated to run probably 4 to 16 ohms

some say it is 4-8 but GM only used 8 ohm speakers with it

the lower the ohm of the speaker the more you'll need to turn the volume up, you can always add a resister to match the 8 ohms you are looking for

Yes thats why lower ohm speaker on a radio designed for 8 or 10 burns out the amp

GM used 10ohm speakers. If you think about it, Ford used 8s, I think, and Chrysler may have been 6? The memory is foggy, but I digress. Either way, the aftermarket introduced a 4 ohm speaker, you put it on your factory radio, the power goes up with less twist of the knob, and it "seems" louder. It's not really; you just didn't have to turn it up as far. Marketing genius- almost as good as Dietz Nutz!

and like I said you just need to add a resistor to bring it up to any ohms you want. In the old days when I had little or no cash I used to add a 2 or 4 ohm resister to get more volume out of my "system" Now I run a 4 channel amp for my 4 ohm component speakers and another amp for my 4 ohm sub. My amps are stable down to 2 ohms
